A display device includes a display unit including a plurality of emission areas, a plurality of touch electrodes that sense a touch, a plurality of code patterns formed in a preset code shape on partial areas of front surfaces of the plurality of touch electrodes, a plurality of tilt sensing patterns including a light absorbent disposed in an inner area or a peripheral area of each of the plurality of code patterns, and a main processor. The main processor receives detected image data corresponding to the plurality of tilt sensing patterns from a position input device, and determines arrangement direction information and tilt information of the position input device by comparing the detected image data with each other.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The display device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of tilt sensing patterns are respectively disposed around each of the plurality of code patterns in a horizontal direction (−x-axis direction) of a first side and an upward direction (y-axis direction) of a second side of each of the plurality of code patterns, or are respectively disposed around each of the plurality of code patterns in horizontal directions (x-axis and −x-axis directions) of the first side and an opposing third side and upward and downward directions (y-axis and −y-axis directions) of the second side and an opposing fourth side of each of the plurality of code patterns, in a plan view.
7. The display device of claim 5, wherein the main processor distinguishes a detected image of each of the first to fourth sensing patterns from the detected image data, and corrects a size of the detected image of each of the first to fourth sensing patterns by increasing or decreasing the size according to a distance between the display unit and the position input device.
8. The display device of claim 1, wherein when detected images and light amount detected areas of the first to fourth sensing patterns detected at a first time are the same as the reference detected images and the reference detected areas, or are similar to the reference detected images and the reference detected areas within reference error ranges, the main processor determines an arrangement direction of the position input device as a front surface direction and a tilt of the position input device as being substantially perpendicular to the front surface direction.
10. The display device of claim 9, wherein the main processor determines that a horizontal tilt of the position input device becomes greater or smaller as an area of the sensing pattern calculated as having the greatest light amount detected area becomes greater or smaller.
14. The display device of claim 13, wherein when the first to fourth luminance values of the first to fourth sensing patterns detected at a first time are the same as the first to fourth reference luminance values or similar to the first to fourth reference luminance values within reference error ranges, the main processor determines an arrangement direction of the position input device as a front surface direction and a tilt of the position input device as being substantially perpendicular to the front surface direction.
16. The display device of claim 13, wherein the main processor determines that a horizontal tilt of the position input device becomes greater or smaller as a difference value between any one of the first to fourth reference luminance values and a highest luminance value among the first to fourth luminance values becomes greater or smaller.
